Write 13/14 as a percent. Write the remainder in fractional form.
I know that 13/14 as a decimal would be 92.857143 and as a percent around 92.86% my question is what would the remainder be and how to write it in fractional form?
13/14 = 0.92857 = 92.857%
The remainder from 13/14 is 13!
Try some other number, say
72/13 = 5 7/13 = 5 R 7
The remainder is always less than the divisor, so
13/14 = 0 13/14 = 0 R 13
To find the remainder when writing 13/14 as a percent, we first need to convert it to decimal form. As you correctly mentioned, 13/14 as a decimal is 92.857143.
To find the remainder, we subtract the whole number from the decimal form. In this case, 92 is the whole number, so subtracting it from 92.857143 gives us a remainder of 0.857143.
To write the remainder in fractional form, we use the following steps:
1. Identify the number of decimal places. In this case, the remainder has 6 decimal places.
2. Place the remainder over a denominator of all 9s equal to the number of decimal places. For 0.857143, we would place it over 999,999 (6 nines).
3. Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, the fraction cannot be simplified any further.
Therefore, the remainder 0.857143 in fractional form is 857143/999999.
